About BA Art History & Criticism, UG:Bachelor - at Regent's University London

This is an American degree, four years in length.

Art History seeks to understand the meaning and function of works of visual art as an expression of human imagination, experience and creativity in particular historical contexts.

As well as studying the lives of artists and their interaction with their contemporary society, you will take courses in studio art and design to link theory to your own experience.

Your studies will be enriched by visits to art galleries and museums, large and small, and to places of artistic interest in and around London. 

This is a discipline which encourages the understanding of many cultures, and intermediate proficiency in a foreign language is therefore a requirement.

Why should I choose this programme?

The Art History & Criticism major is designed for anyone who is passionate about visual art and wishes to learn how to look, understand and learn from it in an informed and critical manner.

Key skills, aims and objectives

  • Ability to analyse and contextualise works of art
  • Receptiveness to new ideas concerning art
  • Effective oral and written communication skills
  • Critical-thinking skills
  • Self-reflectiveness
  • Competency in research methods

Future opportunities

Career opportunities for art history graduates exist in public or commercial galleries, museums or auction houses. 

Graduates also have the potential for careers in publishing, journalism, education and the arts world.

Entry requirements
